Hey guys,
im looking for some caliper paint websites or should i just use high temp engine spray? I want teal and none of the caliper paint kits have teal. I wanted to get it powdercoated, but bledding the brake lines are a PITA right?

let me know, thanks guys!

 

i used engine paint with a good clearcoat, pep boys had the stuff

 

with teal u will probably end up having to go get them powdercoated...and bleeding the brakes isnt that bad....just requires 2 people

 

yup thats what i did....but his color might be hard if not impossible to find

 

Eastwood... i bought the kit... loooks really shiny all the time! =)

 

I used Duplicolor engine paint from Autozone. Although I didn't have the best expiriences painting my calipers with this paint, the final result was exceptional. If you use this paint don't let the paint dry a lot between coats. Go with about 10 minutes between coats. If you start in the morning, you could finish two calipers and have the car back together in 24 hours. You should let the paint dry well overnight so you don't chip the paint when you put the brakes back on.

I painted my calipers orange, and the mounting brackets black. And I put a clear coat over both. You can get the paint at Autozone. They have a wide range of colors, they had three shades of orange; Chevorlet orange, orange-red, and regular orange. So they should have teal, or something close to it. They also have 1200 degree paint and 500 degree paint. Both are ceramic based so they dicipate the heat better. There are more colors avaliable in the 500 degree paint than the 1200. 500 degrees is fine, the calipers won't even reach 1/3 of that.

In conclusion, Duplicolor paint from Autozone.


Good Luck

 

I used a can of teal touch up paint from the dealer for mine

 

yeah i used regular high temp paint for my old calipers and some clear coat. it worked out very nice and looked great. i dont think that i have seen teal though, im sure it is out there somewhere though.
